Molesworth Moped Melee, 5th, 6th. 7th march 2021

I'm not going to make it.

Sprog #2 will be near due, run out of annual leave, and planning a south island trip for when the new bubba arrives.

Maybe next year.

Also, there is one extremely important detail that needs to be discussed. Is there a South Island equivalent of China Palace that we can terrorize during a dinner session?

I dont really know what dining offers Blenheim/Nelson have tbh.

I like eating food in places that sell beer in jugs tbh. Or just some beige food with some cheap beer from the supermarket works fine too. 

[Willdat?]

Nelson will depend on where we stay... Not a lot of places left that serve jugs to be honest.... 

[anglia4]

Pretty sure the Stoke brewery has jugs and decent food. Unlikely to have pink pussies and PG's though.

Callum can do the legwork and find the most succulent Chinese meal in marlborough for us.

Consider yourself tasked @Chunky_t!

I stayed at a motel within walking distance of the springlands tavern for the Onamalutu valley fire back in 2013. They had pub nosh, and beer in jugs.

I'll have to find the shadiest chinese place in town, I'm pretty geographically challenged in the marlborough region though 

It def needs to have pink pussy, top gun, and the sledgehammer on the cocktail menu 

[I'm new here]

New here, new to bikes, had a friend mentioned this ride to me and I'm keen. Would make a great maiden voyage for the ct110

[Chunky_t]

In further developments, they’ve changed the speed limit from Blenhiem all the way to Nelson (I think) to 80km/h which makes the open road stretch to pelorus better for small cc bikes

[RUNAMUCK]

People bin crying about it on the book.

[datlow]

Still keen, but work may say otherwise

Anyone from the NI likely to have a spare seat/room for a bike

Tbh it is a bit silly but hey 

[xsinclairx]

Apparently most roads aren’t engineered for the 100kp/h open road limit so they’re doing that across the country. 
Sure to upset a few. 

[RUNAMUCK]

Cheaper to change the signs, than to upgrade the network.  Some years ago a govt passed a bill allowing them to siphon petrol tax off to waste on other shit. If they'd never done that, we'd be sweet.

@Dolan?

[kicker]

Anyone know know where and how long that old bypassed bit of SH6 is?

[Chunky_t]

And another thought - we should ride the queen charlotte road on the way to pelorus before the mangatapu track, could do Blenhiem>picton (bit of 100km/h but not all the way) then do Picton>havelock via the queen charlotte.
